If you work with wood decoys; you may have encountered the problem of having the edges of the wood damaged by the fluted drill bit when you are trying to enlarge the eye hole for your glass eyes.
Recently I was driving and Jerry was on the cell phone giving verbal instructions to a tackle crafter that needed to enlarge an eye hole in a wood fish lure to accommodate 6mm glass eyes. I made a mental note to record a video demonstration of this process that sounded quite complicated to me.
Last week I recorded Jerry's How to Enlarge the Eye Hole Video for those of us that are visual learners. You'll find it in the tutorial section of this newsletter and on the GlassEyesOnLine Youtube Channel. Watch this video and try Jerry's suggestions. Let us know how it works for you.
